💚I lost my little old man in April, it's still so fresh and my youngest and I miss him every day, seeing Jamie go through this is so hard, but seeing kind messages like this makes me so happy that he has this kind of support. it was also really nice to read this, thank you.
@@hotwaterisspicy I'm so sorry for your loss you never get over the pain but there will be a day you smile when you think about them . I lost my Sammy in December of 2023 who was 13 yrs old I swore I would never go through the pain again 9 months later Sammy and God put Lily Rose in my life and when she does something only my Sammy would do i smile and laugh Sammy is still with me . May your heart's heal❤️🙏
Seeing Jamie cry, broke me! We all know Sherpa is his baby and it’s hard to see such a good and caring pet Dad crying! We love you Jamie and are here for you, no matter what happens 😢❤
Jamie, I hope you read this and know that you have a whole community here that loves you and Sherpa beyond measure. Anything you need or just need to talk, we're here. Anytime, day or night.❤
My dog was 16 when her hind legs started to fail and she lost her bowels. I did use disposable diapers at night to keep floors clean. I also covered areas with potty papers. It got to the point where it was very painful to watch her struggle. I canceled the appointment to put her down 3 times. It was the hardest thing I had to do. And there is still a void in my soul. She was my best friend for almost 17 years.
I lost my mum 2 years before my boy went and honestly much as I loved my mum losing my boy broke me. I lost his sister 2’years later, leaves a void like no other! But hey think of the love and good times we had. We were blessed ❤
As a retired vet tech, you are doing an excellent job caring for Sherpa. A lot of people could learn from your patience and gentleness in caring for an elder pet.
Very hard to be in Jamie's position loving Sherpa as he does abd also be Sherpas rock at the same time. I've always said is one of the hardest things in life is to witness your devoted and faithful unwavering companion growing older. And for those reasons, I know in my case I wouldn't have wanted anyone one else in my place. In my mind that job was meant for me and no one else. I will be there for my dog and be for him what my dog has always been for me. Sherpa and Jamie have always been here for us to make us smile and give us a reason to get out and make happiness wherever it may be and now I think the least we can do is be here for Jamie in return for sharing his one of a kind husky with so many people all over this wild and crazy world.
@@seriously..... So beautifully said Jamie has shared shared with us and we need to support him now. Sending love and healing to both Jamie and Sherper.❤❤❤🙌🏻
He's still asking to go out to use the toilet. He's not eating too bad for the medicine and things he's been through. You're doing an amazing job of taking care of him. He's a lucky boy.
Sit beside him, talk to him. Tell him what a blessing it’s been to have him in your life. Do it now while he is able to hear you. Cry because 0f him, and for him. Be thankful for the memories and although heart breaking, be thankful you are able to usher with him whatever it may come. 😔🦋
It is so sad to see Sherpa struggle and be unwell and then seeing Jamie cry broke my heart. You love Sherpa so much, Jamie, we hear it in your voice and it shows in everything you do for him. We can't do anything but be here for you. I hope it is a bit of comfort to you.
I'm praying for you both, your son Sherpa and you Jamie. Thank you for caring for Sherpa and doing God's will, you are a magnificent person. Blessings always to you. 🙏🙏
We all love you and Sherpa, Jamie. Your patience and love for your Best Buddy is commendable and heart touching. I love to see him lying on the grass, in touch with Earth vibrations, as he knows this is what heals and comforts him, and to sacred Earth he shall return to again romp as a pup when he finds himself 'crossed over'. Bless Bless, a million Blessings upon you both!🌺💖 13:48
Bad things happen to good people. Fortunately, our guardian angels (and those of our pets) look out for us and keep us here as long as we're meant to. It certainly can suck at times, though!
It's so impossible to care for someone you love when they are facing an uncertain future. We've laughed with you and Sherpa for so long. Now we hold him in our hearts and share our support for you both.
Jamie, I know you're tired and stressed and frustrated and sad and even angry and I want you to know IT'S OK TO FEEL ALL THESE THINGS!!! Sherps is your best bud; your "ride or die" guy and it's awful when he's not feeling 100% or even 40%. If you ever feel you want to, do a livestream with us. We may not be able to fix anything, but we can help you carry the weight, if you'll let us. Sending so much love you boys' way!! 💖🙏🤗🤗🙏💖💖💖💖
No matter how hard this may be for you Jamie, no one can ever say you didn't do everything humanly possible for Sherpa. The love you have for him is unmistakable and he knows it, which is all he truly needs.
Dear Jamie, Sherpa is your baby boy. He's that child who is always happy to see dad when you come home. Give you a cheeky response during conversations. Always ready for an adventure when he hears you grab the car keys. I know it's difficult to see his up & down swings. As our big breed dogs age, they do experience difficulty with their hind quarters, heavy panting and reduction in appetite. Please know that your unconditional love, attention, and compassion throughout Sherpa's upbringing is most honorable. You are a great dog dad. You succeed everyday in giving him a beautiful quality of life. Love you both 💖💖!
I just have to say this, what the heck is wrong with the vets, what critical factors does Sherpy need for them to say bring him in straight away.He is clearly not well, and it is taking a toll on our poor boy,and on Jamie. I'm so mad that he has to wait 3 days to get treatment😢 we are all here , sending you both so much love and support. ❤❤
He is still eating and moving around that is a blessing !!! Diet and excercise change a lot in senior years. Exhausting I know. Keep up the fight Jamie he deserves it !!!!!
I came here to say the same thing. Also, the medicine might affect his appetite. My cats don’t eat as much with painkillers/sedative type meds. Jamie, you and Sherpa are in our thoughts and prayers.
@@HouseofMeow3484 Agree 💯‼️ I did laugh a little when Jamie took the bowl to the shed... My thought of Sherpa saying: "Haha getting my breakfast is bed"😊
His appetite is still good and Sherpa clearly loves his garden and naps. Please accept that you're doing everything possible to make your sweet boy as comfortable as possible. Love coming your way from California, U.S. ❤
Watching your dog get older and their back legs get weaker is so hard. I know your heartache, and tough decisions, and I know you’ll make the best choice for Sherpie ❤
Hello Jamie hello Sherpa! I appreciate the updates your giving on his health. And you have every right to feel up and down and all around upset. You're a good man who cares.
Dearest Jamie, you are experiencing the most difficult thing a fur-parent can. ❤ be kind to yourself and do what YOU feel is right by Sherpa. Ultimately, the greatest gift you can give him is your love and help him with pain relief(whatever you deem that to be) With the utmost respect for you, I have always believed that we have a responsibility not to let them suffer. I have been where you are, and it’s the hardest thing ever. Just know that we all love and support you and Sherpa ❤
My 14 year old dog did the exact same thing towards the end of his life. He kept falling over while trying to poop. He would fall right into it. I bought dry shampoo to help with clean ups. He would also just fall down while walking. One day he fell and looked at me in a different way. I could tell in his eyes he was done in that moment. He was already on lots of pain meds to keep him comfortable but his look said it all. I took him the next day to be put to sleep. It was devastating but I knew he needed to keep his dignity and he was done fighting. It’s breaking my heart watching Sherpa seemingly do the exact same thing. I hope they can figure something out for him but he is also a very old dog for his size so be prepared. It sucks and I’m sorry he’s taken such a bad turn. My heart goes out to you both.
We've just been through the exact same thing as you've just explained. Our beautiful Labrador passed 8 weeks ago with just the same thing. It's very sad and difficult to get your head round but I know he's in a better place now with no pain. Wishing you all the best.🇬🇧💛🐾
We went through the exact same thing with our 14 y/o golden retriever some months ago. We were gutted by how much he aged in his last six months, and by the end he was mostly just sleeping his day away. When we took the decision to ease his passing, it was almost like he was relieved to finally be rid of his aches and pains. Grief is the price we pay for a lifetime of love and memories. ❤🩹❤
Your love will carry him through whatever happens! I hope that the love and support from so so many of us can help carry you and give you strength! You and Sherps are in my thoughts and prayers! ❤🙏🤗
As someone who cared for my senior dogs until they crossed over the rainbow, I understand the pain and struggle and wishing they can still stay but we all know it's the end of the road for them. It doesn't get any easier. They were there for me through the worse times and loved me unconditionally. My consolation is they both had pups so I am raising a part of them even while still missing them.
Jamie I feel like I should buy a airplane ticket to England. I’m so worried for you. You are the BEST DOGGIE DADDY. When I saw you tearing up I could see you needed a hug and a shoulder. Sherpy has the best life with you. I wish I could take all your pain away. You sweet sweet man remember all of us are here with you. Everyone loves Sherpy Everyone.
Its so hard when they get old. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to help our old boy over the rainbow bridge just before Christmas last year, so I've very recently gone through the process of helping an elderly dog through their twilight years. It's so hard and so emotionally brutal, but you're doing amazing. Whatever happens and whatever you choose, Sherps is one of the most loved and cherished dogs in the world. You're a wonderful dog dad and have given him the sort of life other dogs have leg kicking dreams about.
Jamie, I cannot tell you how hard that video was to watch. Sherpa is in his twilight years, and you are doing absoluely everything anyone could possibly do take make him comfortable. Every one of your fans are thinking about you and Sherpa.
The most important thing now for Sherpa is that he knows that you are unconditionally by his side, Jaimie; it is hard, it is painful, but it is also and will be a comfort to you to have been with Sherpa when he needed you most. Sherpa is going to have good and bad days, that's how it is with our beloved pets when they get older, they just need our love and patience, and Sherpa gets it from you. A big hug from Argentina.
Oh Jamie, PLEASE know you and and Sherpa have the best community ever!!! We love and support you both so very much. Sadly this is a part of life, but I know there is little comfort in those words when you're actually going on that rollercoaster ride of our fur babies life. We all send you both a collective hug, love, Sherpa pupper kisses!!! I know it might not feel like it, but we all are here to comfort and encourage you both in any and every way we possibly can!!! 🇺🇸 ✝️🙏🕊️ 🐾 🌟💙💙
It’s so heartbreaking to have to watch our precious boy getting on in years and getting so weak. He is so very much loved by everyone, especially you Jamie. We all know you are doing everything you can possibly do to help him. And the main thing is Sherpa knows it too. Hugs and love to you both. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
When my dog let me know it was time he stopped going to the toilet. He had prostate cancer and had been in palliative care for a month. Sherpa will let you know if it’s his time. It’s the worst part of pet care and emotionally the hardest but it’s when we can love them the most and show them that love by listening to them.
I understand how painful going through this is for you along with sharing with us. However, I want you to know how much this means to me. Sherpa is very special pup who has brough some light not only my life, but many others. You are very kind to share your lives with others. Your books are full of kindness and love as well. I am certain as well that Sherpa's plushies have brought sunshine and comfort to others as well. Again, thank you.
Dear Jamie I have been thinking and worrying about dear Sherpa all night. I am pouring HOPE into your heart. Sherpa is such a blessing to you and a strong boi ! X ❤️🇬🇧
@@Sandra_HereToSeeTheDuctTape I know ! It’s the waiting to see the specialist that is killing Jamie ! And us ) but we all must hope they can find out what is wrong with dearest Sherpa……X ❤️🇬🇧
Sherpas mouth was dripping water, that is a sign of pain. Poor baby, is not having a good time and in turn neither are you. Big love and hugs to you and Sherpa.
Dear Jamie and Sherpa, I feel your pain and it’s heartbreaking. Don’t lose hope Sherpie might surprise you … I wish his appointment was earlier. You’re not alone . All my love to Sherpie . Please get some rest.
Every fan of Lord Sherpa is feeling your pain right now Jamie..it has to be gut wrenching to see him in all this pain..but at the same time he's put on a brave face and the fact he's still walking is encouraging. My prayers are going to both of you and I hope this veterinary care comes quickly for Lord Sherpa.
Praying for Sherpa's. Our pets are like our children and when I lost my precious cat Silver in 2017 after i lost my job i was devestated. I hope this helps with the vet bills and many more days of love with your baby
Jamie, all of us who love Sherpa and you, understand what you're going through. All of us who have loved dogs with all of our hearts, with every fiber in our being understand what you're going through. Know that you have support from all over the world. We're here for you and Sherpie.
Jamie , have watched any videos of Phil the malamute. He had cushioning disease. The symptoms seem the same. He was having problems walking. I still cry, I follow that channel to, it's amazing how we get attached to these wonderful pets half way around the world. Sending love to you and Sherpa. 🇨🇦
Kimberley, I follow the other channel too. I am seeing the similarities with Phil and Sherpa. I cried my eyes out when Emma had to put him down, and I will do the same if anything happens to Sherpa. I have tears in my eyes now remembering sweet Philly Bear
@@Lindy-ik1xi Linda , I found the video of Sherpa meeting Phil on their channel it was 2 year's ago and was the most watched. I thought you might be interested. 🇨🇦
Wish there was something I could say that would ease times like this. However, I can say you are both in my heart and prayers . It has always been clear how much you love Sherpa, even more now. He too loves you. ❤️
Jamie, it's the toll on the caretaker that goes unseen until you break. You're holding it together so well as you try to give the world to your Sherpie. A big hug to the caretaker from North Carolina.
Oh Jamie seeing you emotional just breaks my heart😢I’m so sorry your going through this. I’ve been through it with previous kittys and it’s never ever easy please know that Sherpa is so so loved so much by you and all of us!! Were with you!❤️❤️❤️sending hugs your way❤️
Dear Sherpa and Jamie, I'm praying and thinking about you, and we're sending all our good energy and love from wherever we are for Sherpie to recover, and be better. 🙏💗🐾 We all love you dear Sherpa, you're a strong and great boy.
Sometimes it takes time for test results to come in , let all pray Jamie and Sherpa will have the answers to what going on soon and specialist are able to help Sherpa . Surrounding Jamie and Sherpa with prayers, healing, strength and love❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Whatever happens, Jamie - you are giving your all to Sherpa, nobody could do more than you are doing, nobody could have done more than you have. Don't be sorry for your tears - let them come in the video where Sherpa doesn't see them. So many of us have been where you are now - we understand, and you have all our hearts, as does Sherpie The Magnificent.
❤sometimes we have to let go, hard for us. Even harder for them to stay. I pray he can be helped, but please don't let him suffer to long. I write this with a truly broken heart and tears Love you guys so much❤
Absolutely, I hung on for too long, praying for a miracle, and because of that my dog had a heart attack and died in my arms. I don't wish that on anybody. Let go before they do 😢
Despite the cold, Sherpa still tries to go out in his garden.🥰 Jamie, you treat him with such kindness, love, and compassion!😇❤❤❤❤ God bless you for loving Sherpa unconditionally!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@jayneforster5677 I know they love the cold. I have a Siberian Husky that lives in an air conditioned house in front of a fan! He prefers the tile floor instead of a bed to sleep on!😉🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss Jamie. Sherpa clearly loved you so much and he chose you to have the best life possible with. The bond between you two was lovely to see and he’ll be greatly missed.
Jamie I am so sorry for your loss of your beautiful boy I loved watching your videos I am sitting here in tears watching this feeling the heart break as if where my own I have been where you are now more then once it still hurts years after my heart goes out to you he will live on in our hearts and minds thank you for all the joy you have shared with us all he was a beautiful boy may he rest in peace ❤😢😢😢
Sherpa chose you for a reason, he knew of the connection between you two. We take our pets from babies to adults to seniors and it happens so fast. All we can do is appreciate them as long as they are with us. Sherpa will let you know when it''s time. Harsh but realistic advice: Try not to let your personal wants and needs interfere with what he is telling you. That's the hardest part. Lots of love from a companion of many animals through the years.
Thank you for sharing this awful journey. I have an 16 yr old pom and the changes are difficult to deal with. Love love and more love is the best for them and for us. You,re a good man. The world needs more of you in it.
Aw I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s hard watching Sherpie struggle. I hope the pain meds are helping and that the specialist will give him back some stability in his back legs. 💕 love to Sherpie, moral support for Jamie..
I’m going through the same thing with my Husky girl right now. She’s 15 or 16 years old. She walks too, but her hind quarters are just as weak as Sherpa. She paces most of the night around the house. Last night she went outside and slept comfortably for hours in the cool air. It’s hot here right now in Southern California. Since she can’t see or hear very much it’s hard on her. One would of caution, my girl can get herself trapped in places, if unattended. She panics and cries for help, I come running to help her. I feel your pain, she is my best friend. I hand feed her as well as helping her drink water, she won’t lay down and eat, you are lucky there. We love are friends, just as much as they love us. ❤
So you were extremely lucky that you didn't get stuck out in no where with puppers in this condition. It's a blessing not a curse. You are the best loving nurse ever!
Jamie, God was watching over you. You could have easily lost your brakes and you would have had a terrible accident. Please don’t give up hope. I pray you feel the love and support from everyone around the world. I wish I could be there to comfort you. Our vet told us to try and keep our golden retriever from lying on the cold, damp ground. But like Sherpa, she loved being outside. So we had to limit her time outdoors. She also had trouble standing up. She had arthritis in her hips. I’m constantly praying for you both. Sending hugs from Tennessee USA. 💕🐾✝️
Hi Jamie, not commented for some time, but rest assured I am always watching both channels, as I have done for many years. I feel your pain. Sherpa has been a wonderful dog and you have been an excellent dog dad. It has been a priviledge to watch your journey together. It was a great idea to put up the gofundme page, and I was pleased to see the target had nearly been met. (I gave anonymously). I had some tragic news today. Clare's best friend, another black greyhound who was such a sweetheart, called Lucy, died suddenly. She just collapsed whilst out walking. The Vet said, it might have been her heart. Clare and Lucy looked liked twins and were walked together three times a week. Clare was only six years old in April, and Lucy was only four month's younger. We are all heartbroken, especially Lucy's dog parents. Thinking of you, Jamie, and dearest Sherpa. ❤
So sad for you and your friends. I too have known this pain. They are so precious and losing them is so unfair. But we know it will happen, as with any of our loved ones. Still, these are the connections that make life worth living. What are we to do? Words fail. Sending hugs.😿
I was so happy how well Sherpa was doing after surgery at first. I cried when I saw Jamie getting upset. You are such a great dad for Sherpie, and we all hope things will get better soon. All of us love him as if he was our own ❤️🩹
Very similar experience when my ❤dog, Mac, was 13. He was a corgi, so it started with not being able to go up stairs, then couldn’t get down them either. Eventually he was unable to get up at all to even drink or go potty, and he’d be laying in a puddle of his own making. Everything about it was hard. We said goodbye to him at home, and gave him a beer to drink, which he was a Welshman through and through and loved himself a strong ale. Even the vet, who came to our house to help say goodbye, laughed and cried with us and we sent him to the Bridge in the best way for him. Sherpa has touched many of us, and we thank you for sharing your adventure with your best mate with us. You and Sherps will know when it’s time, he will let you know.
Sherpa just looks exhausted (Jamie does too) and in pain. Having been there with a much loved pet I'm struggling to watch now because I think we all sense a heartbreaking decision is imminent. It is the hardest yet kindest thing we can do, my heart goes out to them😢.
I am 70 years old. I have had pets since I was six years old. I have had to put down pets. It is excruciatingly difficult. It also is a kindness--a responsibility--that we must shoulder.
Much ❤and blessings to you Jamie and SHERPA, don’t forget that we are with you during this emotional rollercoster, you are a GREAT MAN Jamie and it shows the love you have for SHERPA 🐺❤ you have every right to feel the way you do , we love you both 🙏🏻❤️
Hang in there Jamie, I know you feel a little helpless. You are doing a marvelous job taking care of Sherpa, it can be exhausting emotionally and physically,I know. The love you two have for each other makes everything a little easier. My prayers are with you and Sherpa❤
This is the hardest times of having an elderly dog. You have to be emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically prepared everyday for them. Jamie your patience and dedication are an inspiration for dog lovers. Your community is here sending love and support.
Just checking in on Sherps and yourself, Jamie. We are both praying and thinking of you 24/7 and sending all our love as always. Hope you are resting and eating. God bless. Teresa xx
This is the hardest part of our journey with them. You’re doing a great job caring for him. If he lets you know that he must take his final journey before the specialist visit, please know you’ve been making his life wonderful as his human and that’s all he ever wanted--you and the good times. I hope you can have a supportive person by your side when you give him that final gift of love and light
The first thing I did early this morning was look for news from Sherpie and you …you have so much on your mind… remember you have so many Friends from all over the world.. you are not alone… Prayers for Sherpie and for you to give you strength.🙏💙🤗
This is the hardest part of sharing our lives with our beloved pups. Sherpa is a wonderfully opinionated old man and will let you know when he's done. The most precious gift you can give him is to listen to him. So, so hard to do. Take care of yourself through this time.
Anyone who's loved a dog and gone through this knows it's hell. 😢
He doesn't want to disappoint Dad! 😪 He's trying so hard.
Very true indeed 😢😢 I lost my old boy just after Father's Day, he was 14.
Despite the tough time that Sherpa is having right now, one thing is very clear, the love and support he gets from you is as solid as a rock 🪨
❤my heart is with you both. I wake every morning to see Dear lord Sherpa. I can't imagine life without him. Hang in please Dear Sherpa and Jamie.❤
That's so true. Sherpa has the best Dad in Jamie
AMEN 🙏
My heart goes out to you and Sherpa. Much love and prayers coming your way
🙏🏻❤. Keep the soft food coming. The SS. & chicken
This is for everyone who has nursed an elderly best friend. Just know that the love you shared never dies, it stays in your heart for ever.
❤

As a retired vet tech, you are doing an excellent job caring for Sherpa. A lot of people could learn from your patience and gentleness in caring for an elder pet.
If you really love your animal you take care of your animal
The aging process causes our older dogs to slow down more and more. They loose interest in things. Watching it take place is very difficult.
Very hard to be in Jamie's position loving Sherpa as he does abd also be Sherpas rock at the same time. I've always said is one of the hardest things in life is to witness your devoted and faithful unwavering companion growing older. And for those reasons, I know in my case I wouldn't have wanted anyone one else in my place. In my mind that job was meant for me and no one else. I will be there for my dog and be for him what my dog has always been for me. Sherpa and Jamie have always been here for us to make us smile and give us a reason to get out and make happiness wherever it may be and now I think the least we can do is be here for Jamie in return for sharing his one of a kind husky with so many people all over this wild and crazy world.

Nobody has it in for you. They watched over you because that brake line didn't go when you were driving. ❤❤❤❤
Yeah! You got that right! It’s a bit to take in when you realize what things could have been! Yikes!
That’s what I was thinking, imagine the horror of driving and your brakes failing..and they would have been stuck in the van waiting for a tow truck..
Bad things happen to good people. Fortunately, our guardian angels (and those of our pets) look out for us and keep us here as long as we're meant to. It certainly can suck at times, though!
Exactly what I was thinking. Guardian angel was there!😇
Amen
Never apologize. Anyone who was ever lucky enough to know the love of a dog understands.
When I see Sherpa is dreaming, I imagine he is running free in the park with Key.
It's so impossible to care for someone you love when they are facing an uncertain future. We've laughed with you and Sherpa for so long. Now we hold him in our hearts and share our support for you both.
I feel for you jamie your a good dog parent.i know it's going to be hard to put sherpa down.sometimes it's the best.
Beautifully said Kate. ❤
Well said Kate, thank you.❤
Now I’m crying 😢
Jamie, I know you're tired and stressed and frustrated and sad and even angry and I want you to know IT'S OK TO FEEL ALL THESE THINGS!!! Sherps is your best bud; your "ride or die" guy and it's awful when he's not feeling 100% or even 40%. If you ever feel you want to, do a livestream with us. We may not be able to fix anything, but we can help you carry the weight, if you'll let us. Sending so much love you boys' way!! 💖🙏🤗🤗🙏💖💖💖💖
No matter how hard this may be for you Jamie, no one can ever say you didn't do everything humanly possible for Sherpa. The love you have for him is unmistakable and he knows it, which is all he truly needs.
NO TRUER WORDS STATED ❤🐾🐾🐕🦺❤️🩹❤️🩹
@@lazarus9624 Absolutely. Well saidxx
When it rains it pours, but I'm glad the van didn't fail with you and Sherps in it.
Dear Jamie, Sherpa is your baby boy. He's that child who is always happy to see dad when you come home. Give you a cheeky response during conversations. Always ready for an adventure when he hears you grab the car keys. I know it's difficult to see his up & down swings. As our big breed dogs age, they do experience difficulty with their hind quarters, heavy panting and reduction in appetite. Please know that your unconditional love, attention, and compassion throughout Sherpa's upbringing is most honorable. You are a great dog dad. You succeed everyday in giving him a beautiful quality of life. Love you both 💖💖!
I just have to say this, what the heck is wrong with the vets, what critical factors does Sherpy need for them to say bring him in straight away.He is clearly not well, and it is taking a toll on our poor boy,and on Jamie. I'm so mad that he has to wait 3 days to get treatment😢 we are all here , sending you both so much love and support. ❤❤
He is still eating and moving around that is a blessing !!! Diet and excercise change a lot in senior years. Exhausting I know. Keep up the fight Jamie he deserves it !!!!!
I came here to say the same thing. Also, the medicine might affect his appetite. My cats don’t eat as much with painkillers/sedative type meds. Jamie, you and Sherpa are in our thoughts and prayers.
So true!
@@HouseofMeow3484 Agree 💯‼️
I did laugh a little when Jamie took the bowl to the shed... My thought of Sherpa saying: "Haha getting my breakfast is bed"😊
His appetite is still good and Sherpa clearly loves his garden and naps. Please accept that you're doing everything possible to make your sweet boy as comfortable as possible. Love coming your way from California, U.S. ❤
Amen! Exactly right!
Watching your dog get older and their back legs get weaker is so hard. I know your heartache, and tough decisions, and I know you’ll make the best choice for Sherpie ❤
The main words here are what is best FOR Sherpa.
🥹❤🥲

Hello Jamie hello Sherpa! I appreciate the updates your giving on his health. And you have every right to feel up and down and all around upset. You're a good man who cares.
Dearest Jamie, you are experiencing the most difficult thing a fur-parent can. ❤ be kind to yourself and do what YOU feel is right by Sherpa. Ultimately, the greatest gift you can give him is your love and help him with pain relief(whatever you deem that to be) With the utmost respect for you, I have always believed that we have a responsibility not to let them suffer. I have been where you are, and it’s the hardest thing ever. Just know that we all love and support you and Sherpa ❤
This is the hardest part. Being there is exhausting and I send you both all of the love and support. Thank you for being Sherpas bestest dad, Jamie.
My 14 year old dog did the exact same thing towards the end of his life. He kept falling over while trying to poop. He would fall right into it. I bought dry shampoo to help with clean ups. He would also just fall down while walking. One day he fell and looked at me in a different way. I could tell in his eyes he was done in that moment. He was already on lots of pain meds to keep him comfortable but his look said it all. I took him the next day to be put to sleep. It was devastating but I knew he needed to keep his dignity and he was done fighting. It’s breaking my heart watching Sherpa seemingly do the exact same thing. I hope they can figure something out for him but he is also a very old dog for his size so be prepared. It sucks and I’m sorry he’s taken such a bad turn. My heart goes out to you both.
Many of us have been down that road. Jaime wants only the absolute very best for Sherpa and will get him the proper healthcare.
@@diamondpaintingbywynterI have no doubt he is doing everything possible for Sherpa as did I for my dog Thor.
We've just been through the exact same thing as you've just explained. Our beautiful Labrador passed 8 weeks ago with just the same thing. It's very sad and difficult to get your head round but I know he's in a better place now with no pain. Wishing you all the best.🇬🇧💛🐾
We went through the exact same thing with our 14 y/o golden retriever some months ago. We were gutted by how much he aged in his last six months, and by the end he was mostly just sleeping his day away. When we took the decision to ease his passing, it was almost like he was relieved to finally be rid of his aches and pains. Grief is the price we pay for a lifetime of love and memories. ❤🩹❤
It's so hard watching our fur babies age. 😢 We love you so much Sherpa. ❤❤❤❤
Your love will carry him through whatever happens! I hope that the love and support from so so many of us can help carry you and give you strength! You and Sherps are in my thoughts and prayers! ❤🙏🤗
AMEN 🙏 Agree 💯

As someone who cared for my senior dogs until they crossed over the rainbow, I understand the pain and struggle and wishing they can still stay but we all know it's the end of the road for them. It doesn't get any easier. They were there for me through the worse times and loved me unconditionally. My consolation is they both had pups so I am raising a part of them even while still missing them.
Jamie I feel like I should buy a airplane ticket to England. I’m so worried for you. You are the BEST DOGGIE DADDY. When I saw you tearing up I could see you needed a hug and a shoulder. Sherpy has the best life with you. I wish I could take all your pain away. You sweet sweet man remember all of us are here with you. Everyone loves Sherpy Everyone.
Its so hard when they get old. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to help our old boy over the rainbow bridge just before Christmas last year, so I've very recently gone through the process of helping an elderly dog through their twilight years. It's so hard and so emotionally brutal, but you're doing amazing. Whatever happens and whatever you choose, Sherps is one of the most loved and cherished dogs in the world. You're a wonderful dog dad and have given him the sort of life other dogs have leg kicking dreams about.
This is so beautifully worded. It isn't often I come across something as thoughtful.
@@BlackWidow00741I agree with you, it is beautifully said ❤
Jamie, I cannot tell you how hard that video was to watch. Sherpa is in his twilight years, and you are doing absoluely everything anyone could possibly do take make him comfortable. Every one of your fans are thinking about you and Sherpa.
The most important thing now for Sherpa is that he knows that you are unconditionally by his side, Jaimie; it is hard, it is painful, but it is also and will be a comfort to you to have been with Sherpa when he needed you most. Sherpa is going to have good and bad days, that's how it is with our beloved pets when they get older, they just need our love and patience, and Sherpa gets it from you. A big hug from Argentina.
Hi 👋 I thought 💭…
I was the only Sherpa’s fan from Argentina 😅 greetings from Buenos Aires
Oh Jamie, PLEASE know you and and Sherpa have the best community ever!!! We love and support you both so very much. Sadly this is a part of life, but I know there is little comfort in those words when you're actually going on that rollercoaster ride of our fur babies life. We all send you both a collective hug, love, Sherpa pupper kisses!!! I know it might not feel like it, but we all are here to comfort and encourage you both in any and every way we possibly can!!! 🇺🇸 ✝️🙏🕊️ 🐾 🌟💙💙
It’s so heartbreaking to have to watch our precious boy getting on in years and getting so weak. He is so very much loved by everyone, especially you Jamie. We all know you are doing everything you can possibly do to help him. And the main thing is Sherpa knows it too. Hugs and love to you both. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
❤ Lay beside Sherpa a lot, that will comfort him, you near him ❤
He loves you and you love him. That is what matters and what will always matter.
When my dog let me know it was time he stopped going to the toilet. He had prostate cancer and had been in palliative care for a month. Sherpa will let you know if it’s his time. It’s the worst part of pet care and emotionally the hardest but it’s when we can love them the most and show them that love by listening to them.
I lost my dog 8/July. Watching him brings me comfort when I miss my girl.
Eternally missed, Letty.
So very sorry for your loss. Sending hugs & love 🤗💜
I understand how painful going through this is for you along with sharing with us. However, I want you to know how much this means to me. Sherpa is very special pup who has brough some light not only my life, but many others. You are very kind to share your lives with others. Your books are full of kindness and love as well. I am certain as well that Sherpa's plushies have brought sunshine and comfort to others as well. Again, thank you.
Dear Jamie I have been thinking and worrying about dear Sherpa all night. I am pouring HOPE into your heart.
Sherpa is such a blessing to you and a strong boi ! X ❤️🇬🇧
Same here. I'm scared of updates and at the same time I can't wait for updates. I hope hope hope the specialist could help Sherpie!
@@Sandra_HereToSeeTheDuctTape I know ! It’s the waiting to see the specialist that is killing Jamie ! And us ) but we all must hope they can find out what is wrong with dearest Sherpa……X ❤️🇬🇧
I am wondering if it could possibly be hip dysplasia as my friends dog had it with the same symptoms but only the specialist would know……..X ❤️🇬🇧
Poor Sherpa breaks my heart seeing him like that prays and love to you both xx
Sherpas mouth was dripping water, that is a sign of pain. Poor baby, is not having a good time and in turn neither are you. Big love and hugs to you and Sherpa.
Here's a little something for you and Sherpa. Big hugs Jamie.

Dear Jamie and Sherpa, I feel your pain and it’s heartbreaking. Don’t lose hope Sherpie might surprise you … I wish his appointment was earlier. You’re not alone . All my love to Sherpie . Please get some rest.
Every fan of Lord Sherpa is feeling your pain right now Jamie..it has to be gut wrenching to see him in all this pain..but at the same time he's put on a brave face and the fact he's still walking is encouraging. My prayers are going to both of you and I hope this veterinary care comes quickly for Lord Sherpa.
The bond between Jamie and Sherpa is so loving 🥰
I know exactly what you are going through,watching this has been emotional. You are doing all you can .
Tuesday, so that's today? I'm crying too over here. I'm petting him with my mind wishing he's not in pain.
Praying for Sherpa's. Our pets are like our children and when I lost my precious cat Silver in 2017 after i lost my job i was devestated. I hope this helps with the vet bills and many more days of love with your baby
@@grobanite4ever85 That's so kind of you. I'm sure Jamie and Sherpa will appreciate your generosity and kind words. Thank you😊🩷💛🩵💙
Breaks my heart seeing him like this. We all know Sherpie is a strong boy and will make it through.❤❤❤ Please recover well and fast Sherpie❤❤

Oh. Sherpie. You’ve got this, baby boy. Jamie you are an absolute angel for this gorgeous boy. He really did get the best dad with you.
Oh sherpa my heart breaks for you and your dad it so emotional but all your fans here supporting you and your dad ❤😢
Jamie , have watched any videos of Phil the malamute. He had cushioning disease. The symptoms seem the same. He was having problems walking. I still cry, I follow that channel to, it's amazing how we get attached to these wonderful pets half way around the world. Sending love to you and Sherpa. 🇨🇦
Kimberley, I follow the other channel too. I am seeing the similarities with Phil and Sherpa. I cried my eyes out when Emma had to put him down, and I will do the same if anything happens to Sherpa. I have tears in my eyes now remembering sweet Philly Bear
@@Lindy-ik1xi Linda , I found the video of Sherpa meeting Phil on their channel it was 2 year's ago and was the most watched. I thought you might be interested. 🇨🇦
@@kimberleylambert3114 Kimberley, thank you. I did watch that video, I enjoyed it ☺️
Wish there was something I could say that would ease times like this. However, I can say you are both in my heart and prayers . It has always been clear how much you love Sherpa, even more now. He too loves you. ❤️
Jamie, it's the toll on the caretaker that goes unseen until you break. You're holding it together so well as you try to give the world to your Sherpie. A big hug to the caretaker from North Carolina.
Well said very important point ❤❤
You are a devoted and good Dad. 🥰🥰. Glad you weren’t in the car when the brakes failed.
Oh Jamie seeing you emotional just breaks my heart😢I’m so sorry your going through this. I’ve been through it with previous kittys and it’s never ever easy please know that Sherpa is so so loved so much by you and all of us!! Were with you!❤️❤️❤️sending hugs your way❤️

Whatever happens, Jamie - you are giving your all to Sherpa, nobody could do more than you are doing, nobody could have done more than you have. Don't be sorry for your tears - let them come in the video where Sherpa doesn't see them. So many of us have been where you are now - we understand, and you have all our hearts, as does Sherpie The Magnificent.
❤sometimes we have to let go, hard for us. Even harder for them to stay. I pray he can be helped, but please don't let him suffer to long. I write this with a truly broken heart and tears
Love you guys so much❤
This saying is so true. “We end their suffering and begin our own.”
Absolutely, I hung on for too long, praying for a miracle, and because of that my dog had a heart attack and died in my arms. I don't wish that on anybody. Let go before they do 😢
My heart aches for you. Poor Sherpa but thankfully he has you steadfast in his care. Bless you Jamie
He's a special dog.
He's also loved around the world by so many of us.
Love on him as much as you can, Jamie.
Despite the cold, Sherpa still tries to go out in his garden.🥰 Jamie, you treat him with such kindness, love, and compassion!😇❤❤❤❤ God bless you for loving Sherpa unconditionally!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He’s a husky z! They love cold !
@@jayneforster5677 I know they love the cold. I have a Siberian Husky that lives in an air conditioned house in front of a fan! He prefers the tile floor instead of a bed to sleep on!😉🥰
We all love you Sherpa. If the end is near, Sherpa knows how well you have taken care of him Jamie.
I’m so sorry for your loss Jamie. Sherpa clearly loved you so much and he chose you to have the best life possible with. The bond between you two was lovely to see and he’ll be greatly missed.
Jamie I am so sorry for your loss of your beautiful boy I loved watching your videos I am sitting here in tears watching this feeling the heart break as if where my own I have been where you are now more then once it still hurts years after my heart goes out to you he will live on in our hearts and minds thank you for all the joy you have shared with us all he was a beautiful boy may he rest in peace ❤😢😢😢
Oh Jamie. I hope this doesn't last too long. Praying for Sherpa and keeping you both in prayers
Especially the lack of eating :(
Always a bad sign when they do that.
Sherpa chose you for a reason, he knew of the connection between you two. We take our pets from babies to adults to seniors and it happens so fast. All we can do is appreciate them as long as they are with us. Sherpa will let you know when it''s time. Harsh but realistic advice: Try not to let your personal wants and needs interfere with what he is telling you. That's the hardest part. Lots of love from a companion of many animals through the years.
Thank you for sharing this awful journey. I have an 16 yr old pom and the changes are difficult to deal with. Love love and more love is the best for them and for us. You,re a good man. The world needs more of you in it.
My heart is breaking for you Jamie it truly is. I’m praying 🙏 for Sherpa
I always pray for him every day. I know you are doing everything that you can to help him. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Aw I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s hard watching Sherpie struggle. I hope the pain meds are helping and that the specialist will give him back some stability in his back legs. 💕 love to Sherpie, moral support for Jamie..
I’m going through the same thing with my Husky girl right now. She’s 15 or 16 years old. She walks too, but her hind quarters are just as weak as Sherpa. She paces most of the night around the house. Last night she went outside and slept comfortably for hours in the cool air. It’s hot here right now in Southern California. Since she can’t see or hear very much it’s hard on her. One would of caution, my girl can get herself trapped in places, if unattended. She panics and cries for help, I come running to help her. I feel your pain, she is my best friend. I hand feed her as well as helping her drink water, she won’t lay down and eat, you are lucky there. We love are friends, just as much as they love us. ❤
So you were extremely lucky that you didn't get stuck out in no where with puppers in this condition. It's a blessing not a curse. You are the best loving nurse ever!
Yay Sherpa for being to get up by himself 🎉
It’s never easy to watch someone you love struggle. You are a great pet parent. You are doing everything you can for him.
Oh Jamie I can hear the pain in your voice... know you're doing a great job with Sherpie... we are 100% behind you both!! ❤💛💚
Jamie, God was watching over you. You could have easily lost your brakes and you would have had a terrible accident. Please don’t give up hope. I pray you feel the love and support from everyone around the world. I wish I could be there to comfort you. Our vet told us to try and keep our golden retriever from lying on the cold, damp ground. But like Sherpa, she loved being outside. So we had to limit her time outdoors. She also had trouble standing up. She had arthritis in her hips. I’m constantly praying for you both. Sending hugs from Tennessee USA. 💕🐾✝️
Hi Jamie, not commented for some time, but rest assured I am always watching both channels, as I have done for many years. I feel your pain. Sherpa has been a wonderful dog and you have been an excellent dog dad. It has been a priviledge to watch your journey together.
It was a great idea to put up the gofundme page, and I was pleased to see the target had nearly been met. (I gave anonymously).
I had some tragic news today. Clare's best friend, another black greyhound who was such a sweetheart, called Lucy, died suddenly. She just collapsed whilst out walking. The Vet said, it might have been her heart. Clare and Lucy looked liked twins and were walked together three times a week. Clare was only six years old in April, and Lucy was only four month's younger. We are all heartbroken, especially Lucy's dog parents.
Thinking of you, Jamie, and dearest Sherpa. ❤
So sad for you and your friends. I too have known this pain. They are so precious and losing them is so unfair. But we know it will happen, as with any of our loved ones. Still, these are the connections that make life worth living. What are we to do? Words fail. Sending hugs.😿
I am sorry to hear about your tragic news
Love and best wishes from South Africa
I was so happy how well Sherpa was doing after surgery at first. I cried when I saw Jamie getting upset. You are such a great dad for Sherpie, and we all hope things will get better soon. All of us love him as if he was our own ❤️🩹
Very similar experience when my ❤dog, Mac, was 13. He was a corgi, so it started with not being able to go up stairs, then couldn’t get down them either. Eventually he was unable to get up at all to even drink or go potty, and he’d be laying in a puddle of his own making. Everything about it was hard. We said goodbye to him at home, and gave him a beer to drink, which he was a Welshman through and through and loved himself a strong ale. Even the vet, who came to our house to help say goodbye, laughed and cried with us and we sent him to the Bridge in the best way for him. Sherpa has touched many of us, and we thank you for sharing your adventure with your best mate with us. You and Sherps will know when it’s time, he will let you know.
My heart breaks I really want him to get better there is no dog like sherpa he is a one in a million 🇬🇧
Jamie. Jamie. Jamie. Remember--you need to do what is best for Sherpa.
Sherpa just looks exhausted (Jamie does too) and in pain. Having been there with a much loved pet I'm struggling to watch now because I think we all sense a heartbreaking decision is imminent. It is the hardest yet kindest thing we can do, my heart goes out to them😢.
@@macelven I agree totally.
I am 70 years old. I have had pets since I was six years old. I have had to put down pets. It is excruciatingly difficult. It also is a kindness--a responsibility--that we must shoulder.
Much ❤and blessings to you Jamie and SHERPA, don’t forget that we are with you during this emotional rollercoster, you are a GREAT MAN Jamie and it shows the love you have for SHERPA 🐺❤ you have every right to feel the way you do , we love you both 🙏🏻❤️
Hang in there Jamie, I know you feel a little helpless. You are doing a marvelous job taking care of Sherpa, it can be exhausting emotionally and physically,I know. The love you two have for each other makes everything a little easier. My prayers are with you and Sherpa❤
This is the hardest times of having an elderly dog. You have to be emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically prepared everyday for them. Jamie your patience and dedication are an inspiration for dog lovers. Your community is here sending love and support.
Just checking in on Sherps and yourself, Jamie. We are both praying and thinking of you 24/7 and sending all our love as always. Hope you are resting and eating. God bless. Teresa xx
This is the hardest part of our journey with them. You’re doing a great job caring for him. If he lets you know that he must take his final journey before the specialist visit, please know you’ve been making his life wonderful as his human and that’s all he ever wanted--you and the good times. I hope you can have a supportive person by your side when you give him that final gift of love and light
The first thing I did early this morning was look for news from Sherpie and you …you have so much on your mind… remember you have so many Friends from all over the world.. you are not alone… Prayers for Sherpie and for you to give you strength.🙏💙🤗
Don’t be angry if he lays down. He is living his best life….he has a yard and a human who cooks him real food.
This is the hardest part of sharing our lives with our beloved pups. Sherpa is a wonderfully opinionated old man and will let you know when he's done. The most precious gift you can give him is to listen to him. So, so hard to do. Take care of yourself through this time.
